Petition for the Continuation of Previous English-Language C

We chose your esteemed university with a genuine passion to advance science, and today we place our hope in your hands to help us overcome this sudden barrier before time runs out

We, Algerian students admitted to Italian universities for 2026/2027, respectfully request that the Consulate: * Continue accepting previously accepted English certificates, including EnglishScore where applicable. * Apply the new requirements from 2027/2028. Due to the lack of available IELTS appointments, many students cannot meet the new requirements in time.

Dear International Students Office, ​My name is islem. ​I submitted my student visa application at the Italian Embassy in Algiers or July, following their email from 16 June confirming that the university's accepted language certificate is valid for the visa. ​Could you please confirm if my language certificate has been officially validated in your system, or if any further action is required from my side? ​Thank you for your assistance. ​Best regards, Islem

It is also recalled that students intending to enroll in degree programmes or other university courses delivered in English must, at the time of submitting their visa application at the VFS counter, provide an appropriate language certificate demonstrating a knowledge of English at least at level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), in accordance with the standards established by the Council of Europe. This requirement must be demonstrated through international

I am an Algerian student admitted to an Italian university. I have already provided proof of English proficiency accepted by the university. We kindly ask the Italian authorities to reconsider the new English language certificate requirement for student visa applications in Algeria, especially for students whose English level has already been verified by their university.

It’s not fair to do this action at this time

Si precisa inoltre che gli studenti che intendono iscriversi a corsi di laurea o ad altri percorsi universitari impartiti in lingua inglese dovranno presentare, al momento della presentazione della domanda di visto presso gli uffici VFS, una certificazione linguistica idonea che dimostri una conoscenza della lingua inglese pari almeno al livello B2 del Quadro Comune Europeo di Riferimento per le Lingue (QCER), secondo gli standard stabiliti dal Consiglio d’Europa. Tale requisito dovrà essere dim

I have English score but they refused at the embassy they demanded the ielts I don't have time to take the test and they don't have appointments

Toufik Adlaoui

On June 16, the Embassy informed us that any English certificate accepted by the university would be accepted. Based on this, many students submitted EnglishScore, and some have already received their visas. However, from one day to the next, students whose files had not yet been processed were asked to provide IELTS, without prior notice. This is especially difficult due to the lack of available IELTS dates.

يُعدّ إجراء اختبار IELTS غير ممكن حاليًا لعدم توفر مواعيد اختبار في الجزائر نضرا للعديد الكبير من الطلبة الذينخم أيضا يريدون حجز موعد من أجل اختبار IELTS وليس فقط الطلبة الذين يريدون الدراسة في إيطاليا، بل ايضا في الدول الأخرى ، وضيق الوقت المتبقي قبل بدء الفصل الدراسي.

i am applying soon and there is no available slots to take test and no time to take with all other stuff in hand

Younes Chaouche

I am signing this petition because VFS Global has suddenly stopped accepting English proficiency certificates that were previously accepted by Italian universities. Many students have had their English certificates officially verified and accepted by their universities, yet VFS is now requiring IELTS instead. This sudden change creates unnecessary obstacles and puts students’ study plans and visa applications at risk. We ask VFS and the relevant authorities to respect the English certificate

Mezheri Mourad

Our universities accepted and verified our language certificates, and based on this verification, we completed our admission procedures and planned our studies in Italy. It is unfair to change the requirements during the same visa cycle. We are simply asking for fairness and for certificates already accepted and verified by our universities to remain valid for the 2026/2027 academic year.
